HC Deb 01 May 1962 vol 658 c801
5. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the basis and scale of compensation for those affected by the impending dissolution of the West Indies Federation have been modified in any way; and what are the categories of recipients.

Mr. H. Fraser

The matter is still under discussion and I have no further statement to make at this stage.

Mr. Sorensen

In view of the heartburning and misunderstanding which there have been on this matter, is progress being made towards a mutually satisfactory settlement?

Mr. Fraser

Yes, I am fairly confident of the outcome.
